I am sorry to hear that you have had problems setting the board.Let’s try by flashing the board with the flashall script: https://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-25154Could you attach a screenshot of what you get on your Device Manager?Have you tried with different USB ports and cables?

I'm not quite sure what happened but I think I was trying to communicate via the wrong USB serial port -- as you suggested. When I reinstalled it again this time using "COM3" it loaded fine and I can now communicate via PuTTY. I tried COM3 in the past without success. I have a number of USB devices hooked up I think there was some cross talk when I switched connections.

The Windows 10 folder for the Edison still shows up as empty however. Is there any use in placing files there from the PC? Could they then be accessed from the Edison? If so how.

By way of background let me tell you of my intentions. For a few years now I have been building S100 bus Computers boards see:-

www.S100Computers.com.

There are is a growing hobby interest in these boards. Just recently built S100 bus 80386 and 80486 boards. My next project is to place the Atom/Edison CPU on the S100 bus. I wish to use the brakeboard board pins to control the bus in a master/slave configuration.I have a few questions I am digging around to try and find out perhaps you could help:-

Is it possible to configure the Edison/breakout board so it always after reset boots to a defined program directly. Ideally in C.

Is it possible to configure the Edison/breakout board so the Atom CPU goes directly some Assembly code module (8086 style etc.), after it initializes all its hardware.

Is it possible to configure the Edison/breakout board so always communicates via the WiFi connection rather than the USB/serial port after reset/initialization?

If yes to these, any chance you could point me to some relevant code/examples.

I’m glad to know that you have been able to use your board.It is normal to have the folder/unit empty after flashing the board, you can have access to this unit from the Serial Terminal of the board. Take a look at the following thread: https://communities.intel.com/thread/55510, the steps basically are: To have access from the terminal:rmmod g_multimkdir /updatelosetup -o 8192 /dev/loop0 /dev/disk/by-partlabel/updatemount /dev/loop0 /updateTo have access from the PC:cd /umount /updatemodprobe g_multi

Regarding your questions:1. You can create a service to run at boot with systemd. The service can load a C code, or executable file without problems. https://communities.intel.com/message/314593#3145932. There isn’t a list of registers and instructions for the Edison to use on Assembly code.3. I’m not sure if I understand your questions; do you want to always use the Terminal Console of the board through WiFi instead of using the USB cable? If this is what you want to do you can use a SSH connection by using the IP address of the board, if the IP doesn’t change you can always use this method, but if you don’t know the IP of it you will need to use the USB cable.I hope this helps.
